Is value of DBTIMEZONE fixed? Or does it changes with Daylight saving? Currently, I'm using it to convert local time to GMT time. But I think my conversion is wrong.. Shouldn't the value be -08:00?

Code: 
   SELECT DBTIMEZONE
     FROM DUAL

DBTIMEZONE
-07:00

I found another function Oracle had for timezone, "sessiontimezone"

This function returns the time zone of the db session I'm connected to. It returns the correct value but dbtimezone did not. Am I missing something here?
